I’m going to take a break from my regular programming (designing a totalizing version of originary thinking that can indelibly embed itself in the culture; more specifically, continuing the discussion of data as currency) to step back and take a look at the thing itself. I’m very grateful for the readers, some of them very thorough and penetrating, I’ve had over the past few years, but at the same time I’ve noticed that, with perhaps a few exceptions, not a one has taken the originary hypothesis as the basis of a self-contained “research project”—one that would engage other discourses and findings, but always on its own terms. Rather, for just about everyone, as far as I can tell, GA has some “interesting ideas,” but interesting ideas are a dime a dozen and eclecticism is a dead end. In a sense, this is “on me” for not yet making GA compelling enough, but it still makes me curious regarding where the “resistance” might be—perhaps GA gets in the way of doing some things that people really like to do.
